So i have about $100 to spend on a SSD. I can get the 120GB samsung evo for $90 or i can get the 256GB Crucial MX100 for $95. I can't decide which to get.
Benchmarks and comparisons i have found on the web seem to be mixed with some saying one is faster and others saying the opposite.
120GB would be fine for me now as my c drive currently is 70GB and never gets any bigger than that. But, when windows 10 or 11 comes out in however many years and i upgrade, i will probably want to do a dual boot with 7. In that case the 256GB crucial would be good to have. But that might be 10 years from now and it might be time to retire the drive i buy today by then.
The main things i will store and use on this ssd are: windows, adobe photoshop and illustrator, presonus studio 1 and web browsers. Thats about 95% of the use this SSD will see. Games all sit comfortably on my 1TB caviar black HDD.
Which would you recommend i get?
